A/D Conversion Format Examples In order to calculate the actual input voltage from the digital "code" provided by the DAQ-16, the user must know the configuration used to acquire the data. Given this information, the input voltage can be calculated using the equations below:...

    62 pin connector at CN1. The D/A converters used on the DAQ-16 are 12-bit resolution converters. Of the 16 bits written to the D/A, only the 12 least significant bits (D0 - D11) are used for the conversion.

    For bipolar operation, the equation becomes: Digital Input/Output The DAQ-16 offers four bits of digital output and four bits of digital input for control/monitoring of external digital devices. The four digital output lines are LS TTL compatible and will initialize low (0 volts) on power-up. The four digital inputs are also LS TTL compatible.

  • Page 16: Base Address

    "1" while a switch in the "ON" position corresponds to an address bit of "0". The base address of the DAQ-16 must be set on a 16 byte boundary, meaning A3 - A0 are "0". The address of the DAQ-16 as shipped from the factory is 0300H.

    100ns increments. The DAQ-16's sampling rate can also be generated from an external clock input. This external clock can be connected directly to the A/D converter or through a 16-bit pre-divider, the multi-function timer.

  • Page 18: Internal Clock

    N1 is the low 16-bits of the clock divider, N2 is the intermediate 16-bits of the clock divider, and N3 is the high 16-bits of the divider. The following criteria must be met when selecting values for N1, N2, and N3: DAQ-16 Users Manual t = 100ns * [N1*N2] or f = 10MHz / [N1*N2] 2 <...

  • Page 19: External Clock

    2.5.2 External Clock The external clock input to the DAQ-16 is a TTL level (0 - 5 volt) signal. This input may be used to control the sampling rate directly, or it may be fed through a pre-divider (the multi-function timer) with the timer output controlling the A/D sampling rate. When used to...

    30ns and the low portion is at least 50ns. Except for the first period, the sampling rate of the DAQ-16 will be the external clock frequency divided by the count value written to the multi-function timer. Since one clock pulse is required to load the initial count value into the timer, the first sampling interval will be one clock cycle longer than the rest.

  • Page 21: Direct Memory Access

    In this way, the DAQ-16 can acquire data continuously until terminated by the user. The DAQ-16 supports 16-bit DMA transfers on channels 5, 6, and 7. The DMA channel(s) are selected by jumpers J8 and J9 as shown in Figure 2-10.

  • Page 22: Interrupts

    Interrupts The DAQ-16 is capable of generating an interrupt from one of four sources: 1. End of conversion signal 2. DMA terminal count 3. Multi-function timer output 4. External interrupt input The interrupt source is software selected through the DAQ-16 control word register. The interrupt level is selected using the jumpers J10 and J11 as shown in Figure 2-11.
